LOS ANGELES – Another U.S. Open, another record pile of cash to be distributed.
The 123rd U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club’s North Course will feature the most money paid out in the major ever.
“We’ll play for the largest purse in USGA history,” USGA CEO Mike Whan said Wednesday. “We’ll play for $20 million this week with the winner’s check $3.6 million.”
That’s right in line with the money awarded at the PGA Tour’s designated events during the season.
The USGA on Saturday morning released the full rundown of prize money. The runner-up will pocket $2.16 million with the third-place finisher also clearing a million dollars at $1.41 million. Tenth place is good for $491,182.
Matt Fitzpatrick banked $3.15 million a year ago after winning at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. Jon Rahm won $2.25 million two years ago Torrey Pines in San Diego.
But a huge bank deposit is just part of the spoils of success. The 2023 champ will also get:
- U.S. Open exemption for the next 10 years
- Invitations to the next five Masters Tournaments, the next five Open Championships, the next five PGA Championships and the next five Players Championships
- Exempt status on the PGA Tour for five years
- U.S. Open trophy (for one year), a Jack Nicklaus Medal and a replica trophy to keep
The 2023 U.S. Open is June 15-18.
